Clearing out the Projects

Over
the last few days I've hit 20 followers! Yay! Thank you all. I'm not
one who worries about the numbers but it's always nice to know
someone is reading this thing. Some of you may have noticed a bit of
a revamp going on at the moment, please stick with me as things
change slightly!

As
part of that revamp I took a look at my 'Projects On My Mind List'
that you can see on the sidebar. It's just a list of what I'm
working on and what I'm thinking about getting around to at some
point, so when I have the “oh I really want to make one of those
sometime” thought I don't forget. Lately it's been getting a bit
bogged down though, so I thought I'd give it a clean out!

Crochet
Scarf (WIP). This actually is a current work in progress, so it can
stay.

V&A
Vase Mini Cushion Cross Stitch (WIP). Believe it or not, I'm also
currently working on this one, so it can stay as well.

Secret
Projects (WIP). I'm not actually working on anything secret at the
moment. . . but I haven't shown you what I was working on. Mainly
because the person it's a secret for hasn't got it yet, even though
it was meant to be a Christmas present. It's off the list for now
and I'll try and show off what I made soon.

Herb
Growing (WIP). Well I'm still growing herbs, but I think I'll call
this one a success!

Here's
my sage and oregano, still going strong. Unfortunately I never
managed to get the rosemary to take off. In a twist of fate just
yesterday I inherited a mint plant.

We hosted my flatmates 21st last night and made a variety of 'proper' cocktails (ie: not out of a packet mix). One of them had mint in it and our local supermarket stocks fresh herbs as live plants rather than cuttings. At the end of the night we had one left over! I think it will need repotting pretty soon though. Oh. . . please ignore our unmown lawn, we've been having problems with the lawnmower lately!

good idea to make a list, maybe I should try that or maybe not!! Hey just if you are interested, Rosemary is more of a shrub and it doesn't like too much love and attention, just throw it in the ground in the sun and it will take off!! I don't think they like pots much.
